With NATO mobilizing now, expect them to rocket. Watch for these items to blast in price-
Corn based products like cooking oil
Every kind of rice you like
All breads
Soybean will be next and that will affect everything you buy
plastics from scotch tape to toothpaste
canned goods
Goes without saying-
Fuel/heating oil
Ammo
lumber
cleaning products
If you aren't packing on everyday items and goods, you're going to regret it
Don't forget feminine cleaning products. That will be hard to find and expensive to buy soon.
The market will continue to move up precisely because our currency is debasing at an alarming rate, money will need to flow somewhere.
I do think the recent crash was a correction due to a heavily leveraged market... let's see what happens if China does invade Taiwan.
If so, this is exactly what will happen...
the big guys will short the market ahead of time, news will break out, and the markets will crash. the lil guy will panic sell, at a loss, the big guys will swoop back in and re-buy it all back.
the ONLY way the lil guy does not lose is to not panic, but be stoic in these times.
Look at the chart during the C19 scare of March 2020.
